The Maintenance Guild will hold their Twenty Eighth meeting on April 14, 15, and 16, 2010.
The twenty eighth meeting of the Maintenance Guild will be held in Fort Wayne, Indiana with our host Plant being SDI Butler. This meeting will have a different format to attempt to accommodate better attendance and participation in the round table session. All attendees should plan to be in an all day round table session on Wednesday with an evening hospitality mixer. The technical presentations and tour will be on Thursday and our Golf Outing Friday morning. Transportation for the Plant tour will be provided for the group.
We will be staying at the Fort Wayne Marriott Hotel located at 305 East Washington Center Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46825. You can fly into Forth Wayne international airport which is approximately 20 miles from the airport to the Fort Wayne Marriott. You will need to provide your own transportation from the airport to the hotel. They do have a complimentary Airport shuttle service, but reservations are required. The room rate for the Guild members will be $109.00 dollars per night. To make your reservations, individuals should Call 1-800-228-9290 or 260-484-0411 for reservations and ask for the ‘Maintenance Guild’ rate. All reservations will be held after 6PM and guaranteed for late arrival only if accompanied by a first night room deposit or guaranteed to a major credit card.
You need to make the meeting fee payments in advance. The cost for this meeting will be $350.00 (American) and can be made on our website www.maintguild.com or you can fax me a PO number at (330) 479-5061 and I will invoice you for the fees as long as we receive the funds prior to the meeting. This fee will cover the cost of meals, bus transportation, meeting rooms, and equipment. The cut off date for the block of room we have on hold is March 23, 2010 and we only have 35 rooms in the block so make your reservations soon.. After this date the rooms will go on a first come first served basis. There are few hotels close to this location so please make your travel arrangements as soon as possible.
Member dues need to be renewed and are still $25.00 per year. This meeting we will be electing a new vice president. The member dues need to be current to be considered a voting member per our corporate charter.
Thursday evening we will have a dinner with a guest speaker from SDI.
For those individuals that are interested there will be a group gathering Friday for a round of golf. If you are interested in playing please contact Mark Kropf at kropfm©maintguild.com or call him at (330) 479-5060. I need to know by no later than April 5th if you plan on golfing so tee times can be secured. We plan to Tee off by 9:00 and finish at 2:00. After the outing all members will be on their own for the rest of the weekend.
We know that the economic conditions in the steel industry are tighter than we have seen them in a number of years. But to maintain the viability of our organization and the companies we serve, The Maintenance Guild felt, along with a number of mills, to continue to hold our meetings as planned. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you in Fort Wayne.
